Is your Flash current? Does it help to enable the Video enhancements lab? Can you see the video options in the Chat settings. |

It says that the Google Talk Plugin Video Accelerator crashed. Other people can hear and see me, and I can hear them, but I can only see the unhappy puzzle piece. I tested in both Chromium a |

| Re: I m not able to do voide/video chat on gmail on ubuntu 11.04, 64bit. | bkennelly | 9/26/11 5:34 PM | Look for the Video enhancements on the Labs page in your Gmail settings. Another user reporting a similar problem solved it by choosing lower resolution options in the Chat settings. |

| Re: I m not able to do voide/video chat on gmail on ubuntu 11.04, 64bit. | KyleSchulz | 9/29/11 5:03 AM | I also do not see anything in my Chat settings about resolution. Just echo cancellation and report quality stats to google. And the video enhancement lab didn't really change anything, except that now the unhappy puzzle piece pops out to the middle |
| Re: I m not able to do voide/video chat on gmail on ubuntu 11.04, 64bit. | KyleSchulz | 9/29/11 5:23 AM | Well, I figured out the problem for me. It WAS my proprietary ATI/AMD graphics driver. I just disabled it and (after some startup problems which are another issue) my video chat works now. Some details about the driver: ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX g |

| Re: I m not able to do voide/video chat on gmail on ubuntu 11.04, 64bit. | KyleSchulz | 9/29/11 5:56 AM | Oh, in that case it sounds like it is definitely a connection issue, rather than a hardware issue. It definitely isn't the same problem as mine, so I don't think playing with the graphics driver will help you. I wasn't able to talk to video chat wi |
